Initiative and referendum; imposing certain requirements on persons collecting signatures; requiring display of certain notice. Effective date.
SB 1119 regulates how signatures are collected for Oklahoma initiative and referendum petitions. It requires anyone gathering signatures to display a clear notice at collection sites stating whether they are being paid and by whom. The bill also mandates that signers provide their full name, birth date, and voter registration address, and sets a 90-day deadline for collecting signatures after petition approval. These changes directly affect petition organizers and signature collectors, aiming to standardize the process for voter-driven measures.
